FOREWORD 
The format for the Tenth Edition of the Guide to Aviation Resources Management forAircraft Mishap Prevention has been changed and expanded to provide Army aviation
commanders and their safety managers a more comprehensive guideline for implementingand maintaining an effective aviation mishap prevention program. It is designed to serve asa guide for preventing aircraft mishaps through the judicious and skillful use of aviation
resources. Experience has proven that exceptional levels of readiness can be achieved onlythrough effective management and conservation of all available resources. 
This publication supersedes the Ninth Edition of the Guide to Aviation ResourcesManagement for Aircraft Mishap Prevention. Subsequent changes will be printed when asubstantial amount of the material is affected by changes in references or technicalprocedures. Announcement of these changes and publication of additional sections willappear in FlighHax. 
Users of this book are encouraged to submit recommended changes and comments toimprove its effectiveness. Comments should be substantiated with reasons and keyed to the
specific page, question number, and line being considered.Comments may be forwarded using the self-addressed mailer located in section XX. 
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE 
This guide will serve you best if the book, consisting of multiple sections, is placed in a three-ring binder. Individual sections may be locally reproduced to provide worksheets for conducting accident prevention surveys. 
An operational analysis of the unit can best be performed by obtaining the data required to complete section 1. Conduct an analysis of this data and determine potential weaknesses which may exist in the command. Identify the unit activities most affected and, therefore, most in need of a detailed evaluation. It is recommended that these statistics be maintained to show trends and identify deficiencies that would erode an effective accident prevention 
program. 
The remaining sections contain comprehensive checklists to assist the user in conducting required accident prevention surveys. Questions contained in this guide are based on Department of Army publications or sound judgment. Locally prepared .questions referencing major and subordinate command regulations should be listed separately and added to each appropriate section. 

NOTE 
Safety personnel will insure that proper safety procedures are adhered to in accordance with Army regulations, technical and field manuals, the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1971. all applicable fire and electrical codes, and other accepted civilian and military safety practices.
